The Polar Plunge is Special Olympics Virginia's largest fundraiser, attracting more than 10,000 people to the oceanfront in February. The fundraising done at
this event pays for most of the expenses of our program - which is free to all athletes.
Our Chesapeake
program costs $30,000 a year for uniforms, entry fees for local and statewide competitions, facility fees,
travel expenses including van rental, gasoline, meals, and housing. Every contribution to Special Olympics is tax
deductible, and you will get a receipt when you donate online.
You can help
us raise these funds by joining the CHESAPEAKE ATHLETES, Area 2 team. Plunge or help raise
money for our team. Use your Fundraising page to send out to friends and family to collect donations.
Our athletes
come out each year and brave the cold to support their team and our Chesapeake program. To join our CHESAPEAKE ATHLETES TEAM Click Here
